Lot 2073
1864 Pattern Cent. Copper, plain edge. . J-356B. . 87%CU, 13% NI. . P-427. NGC graded MS-66. A fully brilliant gem. Nicely struck on each side, as well, the brilliant surfaces have a sheet of light tan luster that shimmers and sparkles and is uninterrupted by any tarnish or spotting. Don't expect the usual halfhearted impression left by the striking of the (sometimes worn) dies that made regular strikes of this year; for we are glad to report the opposite is true. This is a very bold Pattern cent with sharp centers including strong LIBERTY and headband, plus full feather vanes.
Estimated Value $7,000 - 8,000.
